specifications.

5.2 Power Efficiency

One of the main features of blade servers is enhanced power efficiency. The PowerEdge™ M710
achieves higher power efficiency by implementing the following features:

User-configurable power options through the M1000e Chassis Management Controller (CMC)
(see M1000e documentation on

Improved power budgeting

Voltage Regulator (VR) efficiency improvements

Processor VR dynamic phase shedding

Switching regulators instead of linear regulators

Closed loop thermal throttling

DDR3 and LV-DDR3 memory

Memory VR static phase shedding

BIOS Power/Performance options page

Active Power Controller (BIOS-based processor P-state manager)

Ability to power down or throttle memory

Ability to disable a processor core

Ability to turn off embedded NICs or PCIe lanes when not being used

Option to run PCIe at Gen1 speeds instead of Gen2

Energy Smart components at the M1000e chassis level to selectively enable more computing
performance with less power consumption.
